Purple membranes from Halobacterium salinarum as building blocks for nanobiotechnology: The importance of mechanical and thermal properties for matrix and surface applications

Bacteriorhodopsin (BR) is a light-driven proton pump and the key protein in halobacterial photosynthesis. In its native host, the archaeon Halobacterium salinarum, BR trimers arrange into a 2-D crystalline lattice, the so-called purple membranes (PMs) which comprise BR and lipids only. Along with th...
